I have offended when I didn't mean to offend. However, if I am aware of someone being offended, I simply stop the perceived offense. We all know phrases and words that trigger an emotion to a memory. Even naming a child can evoke a reaction when a name is chosen and the name reminds us of some idiot you knew that had that name. This has really been an interesting thread of human emotion and reactions. I feel for you Redwitch and am very saddened for your terrible memories of the Guyana tragedy.
